Justification: Includes the study of the bones, joints and muscular structures of the human body.
This subject is a cornerstone for the study and professional practice of physical therapy. Since the locomotor system is the system on which physiotherapy works.
Relationship with other Subjects: Morphophysiology I, Morphophysiology II, Psychology, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Biomechanics, Kinesitherapy, Clinical Assessment, General Pathology, Specific Methods I - IV, Physiotherapy in Specialties I-VI, Introduction to Clinical Practices, and Practicum I, II and III.
Relationship with the Profession: The acquisition of a solid knowledge of the Locomotor System is essential to practice the profession with the scientific foundation and rigour that is required in today's society. Their knowledge will allow evaluations to be carried out and to correctly and scientifically support different general and specific physiotherapeutic techniques. Furthermore, this subject contributes to the acquisition of oral communication skills of a professional and scientific nature, as well as comprehensive reading, analysis and synthesis of documentation skills.
